Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or tree:
“The ripest fruit of all,
That perfect bliss and sole felicity,
The sweet fruition of an earthly crown.”

“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
